LIQUID JGONTAINEB.

Application filed April 11, 1928. Serial No. 269,167.

This invention relates to liquid containers and has for an object to provide a construction wherein a plurality of compartments are presented with independent outlets.

Another object of the invention is toprovide a liquid container with two or more compartments arranged in substantially the same plane.

A further object of the invention is to provide an improved liquid container formed fiat throughout and divided interiorly into a plurality of independent compartments with an independent outlet for each compartment.

In the accompanying drawing,-

' Figure 1 is an edge view of a liquid container disclosing an embodiment of the invention;

Figure 2 is a sectional view through Figure 1, the section being taken on line 2 2;

' Figure 3 is a side view of a liquid container disclosing a modified construction to that shown in Figure 1;

Figure 4 is aside View of a liquid container disclosing a further modified form of the invention to that disclosed in Figure 3.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates what may be called the body of the container, and 2, 8, 4 and 5 the respective closure members for the various outlets 6, 7, 8 and9. The various closure members are preferably formed of cork provided with celluloid caps or end plates 10. Arranged interiorly of the body 1 are partition members 11, 12, 13 and 14 merging together at point 15. By reason of the partition members, the body is divided into four compartments, 16, 17, 18 and 19, whereby four different liquids may be carried in the container at the same time, if desired. The caps or plates 10 are provided so that the names of the various liquids may be written on the various stoppers or closures. From Figures 1 and 2 it will be seen that the container is fiat and also substantially rectangular, whereby it may readily be packed in a valise, trunk or the like when traveling. From Figure 2-it will be seen that the various partitions form part of the walls of the various outlets, while the sides of body 1 and the special projection 20 complete the seats for the respective closure members. In Figure 3 a slightly modified structure to that shown in Figures 1 and 2 is presented. In this form of the invention a single partition 21 is provided whereby only two compartments are formed. In Figure 4 a slightly different arrangement of partitions is pro vided. In this figure threeoutlets are shown and partitions 22, 23 and 24 are used to, di-

vide the body of the container into three com partments. Inthe drawing two, three and four compartments have been disclosed, but if desired, more compartments could be provided without departing from the spirit of the invention. In all forms of the invention the flat and rectangular structure has been maintained and. the outlets have all been formed in therespective corners with the closure seats extending inwardly, whereby there are no projections to-become broken. It will be understood that any container em bodying the inventionvmay be made of glassor other vitreous material, or of other suitable material, as, for instance, stainless steel or other rust-proof metal.

What I claim is 1. A container, comprising a hollow, substantially rectangular flat body formed with a partition for dividing the body into a plurality of independent compartments, means in one corner. of each compartment presenting an outletrstru-cture extending from the exterior of the body inwardly into the respective compartments, and a, removable closure member for each of said outlet structure's.

. 2. A container, comprising a hollow, substantiailyrectangular flat body having parwardly from each corner of the body for presentingv independent outlet structures for each of the compartments.

3. A container, comprising a hollow body formed with partitions for dividing the body into a plurality of independent compartments and means coacting with part of each partition for each compartment extending inwardly from the exterior surface of said body forming independent outlet structures for each of said compartments, each of said outlet structures being formed to present a stopper receiving seat.
